While there are no known variants for Syndicate Wars, the game itself is a hilarious treasure trove of graphic design mistakes:

The game’s back insert is missing the UPC barcode. The code itself was sourced from a sealed copy’s top security label for the site.
In the ESRB descriptor box, the top line of ‘Animated Blood’ is in bold for no reason.
Despite being a Teen rated game, the disc carries the ‘Kids to Adults’ ESRB rating.
The Player icon has the maximum number of players for the Multi-Tap. In general acceptance, the Player icon would be for up to 2 Players, and then anything over 3 would be reserved for the Multi-Tap icon.
Despite not listing it on the back, the game for whatever reason has controller configurations for Namco’s neGcon inside the manual.
